Radio console

[Nanonevol]

This center part of my dash that holds the radio and speaker is just sort of jammed in to the space with no hardware holding it. It kind of sags to the right like I've seen on other Spiders.
I could fabricate something but what is supposed to hold it in? Where do screws go?

The lower dash (with the radio, cig lighter, etc) is secured to the center console (the part that runs over the driveshaft tunnel from the front of the passenger compartment almost to the back seat) by 4 screws, 2 on the passenger side and 2 on the driver side. These screws are located on the bottom edge of the lower dash, going through the lower dash and then into the lip on the top of the center console on each side. Going by memory here, but I believe the location of the screw holes is on either side of the 4" x 2" heater air openings in the center console near where your feet would go.

It's very common for these screws to be missing or loose, resulting in a wobbly lower dash.

Thanks! I see those locations now and did my best lining up the parts to get screws in. This does seem to hold the lower dash together fairly well. I thought there may be another connection point higher up.

I thought there may be another connection point higher up.

That would certainly make sense, but I don't recall a connection point that secures the top of the lower console. Unless my cars originally had such a beast and it's been lost in the ages... I vaguely recall that I made a bracket out of some wood framing brackets at one time, just to keep the top of that lower console from squeaking against the lower rim of the dashboard. Definitely not stock, of course.
